On October 11th, 1899, when the second war (' Great Boer War') between Britain and the Boer republics began, Christiaan de Wet was a common burgher in the ranks of the Heilbron Commando. When the war ended three years later, he held the rank of Vecht-Generaal ('field general') He had established a worldwide reputation as a most remarkable guerrilla fighter. De Wet was the man the British could not catch. The damage that this virtually unschooled farmer who had never had a formal lesson in military tactics did was nothing less than astonishing. This book, his own account of the Boer was is a true classic of military history literature.
